Constantly feeling overweight even though friends are concerned that a person is underweight.

In most instances a person can be helped to overcome an eating disorder before serious physical and emotional damage occurs. Occasionally, however, eating disorders can progress to become a life-threatening problem.

Help Services

The University Counseling Center has resources to help people who are struggling with eating disorders. Services include personal counseling, brochures and co-sponsorship of support groups. In conjunction with the UW-Stout Student Health Services, a collaborative program has been created to help people overcome eating disorders. This program is specifically designed for situations that have not progressed to the life-threatening stage.
